hello,

   I have seen *several* opening cels of the same 
shot from a certain anime.  I have come across an 
opening cel from a certain serious...and I really 
would like to purchase the cel *but* I have seen 
almost the exact same cel in other galleries...so 
am wondering.  I won't name the anime...but 
suffice it to say, I can't fathom the same shot 
can have so many opening cels.  In the 
shot/scene, the character isn't moving so why do 
they need to make so many cels for that one 
shot??  How do you verify the authenticity of the 
cel and has anyone heard of fakes/frauds made of 
opening cels?  
   As opening cels are more expensive than most 
cels, I wonder if there are people making fakes 
of opening cels?  If anyone has heard of a series 
that has fakes made of opening cels, please let 
us know.    Thanks.
